CARLETON STUDENT PRODUCES MUSIC VIDEO SHOW TO AIR THIS
WEDNESDAY
Northfield, Minn. — For a few hours each day, Aaron DeClerck, a Carleton College
senior who will graduate this fall, transforms his seemingly typical dorm room into a
business office for his production company "Sister Ship 23 Productions." From there,
he has contacted about 400 record labels through e-mail, phone calls and letters, trying
to acquire the sort of music videos not being played by the very mainstream MTV.
DeClerck has spent the last six months putting together a weekly music video
show that will focus on electronica music — techno music with drum and bass — with
visually interesting videos. The show, titled "mind.body.light.sound," will first air on
Northfield TV (NTV 26), Channel 7 on Wednesday, November 26 at 6.30 p.m. The
show will be played two additional times weekly, on Thursdays at 10 p.m. and
Saturdays at 11.30 p.m., and will tentatively run until June.
DeClerck wants this show to be a showcase for smaller record companies who
often have difficulty in getting their music videos shown. "It's frustrating when you
can't show people what you spent the last few montfi of your life working on,"
DeClerck said. He can understand this frustration first-hand. Last spring for a
documentary video production class, DeClerck made a film on the recently opened
Village School and, in the end, found there were not many outlets to display his work.
It was while doing technical work for this documentary at Northfield TV that
DeClerck thought up the idea for a music video show. "I realized there was a great
resource in Northfield Television that was not being used as much as it could be,"
DeClerck said.
This music video show is DeClerck's Comps project, a senior integrative exercise
mandatory for all Carleton Students. Comps can range from researching and
producing a 60 page paper on Medieval history to making a documentary on American
culture, depending on the student's major and interests. DeClerck sees his comps as
allowing him to bring together what he has learned at Carleton, both in and out of
class. He has been Station Manager of KRLX, an organizer of Spring Concert, and has
